The inventories management is a key element, which must be incorporate to the organizations regardless of its size, with the main objective to optimize the profitability. For this purpose it is important that the inventory management would be a guideline to be observed by the administrative and operational staff. This case study was conducted in RI SA Products, which is a Mexican SME (Small and Medium Enterprises) company dedicated to the candies production. At the moment to analyze the company´s context it was detected that there were not any financial strategy implementation and inventory management systems. Therefore the ABC classification was used to delimit the study area and also examining the behavior and pattern of demand. Likewise, a seasonal behavior was detected, being 45% of the products deterministic and the remainder probabilistic, based on the sells balance sheets of 2011 to 2014. As a result of the analysis, it was determined the use of Economic order quantity (EOQ), continuous review and inventory in transit models. The main objective is to propose and to incorporate the inventory management, a Pull & Push production scheme and a Vendor Management Inventory (VMI).
